So I've only lost 5 pounds. I was getting disappointed because I really was hoping to lose 10 by now. (I've been here for over a month now.) BUT...today at church not 1 but 3 different people told me I looked like I've lost weight. These are not people I'm close to and none of them had any idea how hard I'm working nor how I've changed my lifestyle. I'm so glad the scale isn't my only feedback! Now I have the needed motivation to remove another 5. It might take longer than I'd like, but I'm eventually going to do it! I AM going to be healthy and feel great about myself!

    It is not the scale so much that matters, it is how you feel. And plus, i bet you are working out a lot and that so called 5 lb difference is just muscle mass. :smile:

    You are doing a wonderful job.
